Dr. Jen Arnold & Bill Klein stopped by the studio today.
(Karen & Lurie reflected on the conversation after the couple left the studio.)

Karen: "Her mother never let her wallow in anything."
"How many of us are atrophying our children...?"

Julius Jones (#justice4julius):
From the petition:
"At the time of the crime for which he was convicted, Mr. Jones was a 19-year-old student athlete with a promising future, attending the University of Oklahoma on an academic scholarship. It is clear that Mr. Jones lacked an adequate defense, and that explicit racial bias played a significant role in the process from the beginning."

From Karen Hunter:
"The reason why some of us aren't where we need to be, is because we just don't know what we need to know, to get there. So as I learn things, I'm sharing."
"Anybody that won't share knowledge, anyone that won't tell you things that you need...you have to challenge and question that person's character."
